name	open-testing-convert-testcafe
description	Convert TestCafe test suites (`fixture('...')`, `test('...')`, `Selector('...')`, `t.click`, `t.typeText`, `t.expect(...).ok/eql/contains`, `ClientFunction`, `Role`) to and from Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, WebDriverIO, Puppeteer, Appium, Cucumber, Eggplant (SenseTalk), OpenTest.AI, Testers.AI Recorder, and Testers.AI Dynamic. Handles TestCafe's proxy-based driver, smart auto-waits, roles-based auth, client-side JS execution, and iframe/native-dialog support. Use whenever the user wants to migrate a TestCafe suite, port TestCafe tests to Playwright/Cypress, or round-trip TestCafe through OpenTest.AI. MANDATORY TRIGGERS — "convert TestCafe", "TestCafe to <target>", "migrate TestCafe", "port TestCafe", ".testcaferc", any mention of TestCafe alongside any supported target.

Convert — TestCafe

Converts TestCafe test suites to any supported target, and emits TestCafe from any source.

When to use

Trigger when:

• Imports: import { Selector, ClientFunction, Role, t } from 'testcafe'.
• Top-level fixture('...') + test('...', async t => ...).
• .testcaferc.json / .testcaferc.js config files.
• Proxy-based driver (no WebDriver session) — TestCafe serves a proxy at http://localhost:1337.
• Smart auto-wait patterns: chained .click().typeText().expect(...) without explicit waits.

How to use

1. Read the master orchestrator first.
2. Read this skill's reference files: source-profile.md, extraction.md, mappings.md.
3. Read target primer for your target.
4. Emit per target Emission Checklist.

Scope

• TestCafe 1.x and 2.x.
• Mocha/Jasmine-less (TestCafe has its own runner).
• Role for authentication reuse.
• ClientFunction / RequestHook / RequestLogger / RequestMock.
• Custom assertion methods via t.expect(...).method(...).
• Concurrency (-c N) — noted in preamble; doesn't affect canonical.
• Browser targets: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, mobile emulation.

Out of scope

• TestCafe Studio visual-editor artifacts — those export to standard TestCafe JS, so converge to this skill.
• TestCafe plugins (testcafe-reporter-*) — preserved as config metadata, not converted.
